How much time does it take to renew passport?

The government website says it is up to 10 weeks. So you must apply with lots of time. Do not leave it until the last minute.

I did mine online and it was faster. I got my new one in three weeks. But my friend had to wait much longer for his. So you can never be sure. The paper forms take more time, I think.

If you are in a big hurry, you can pay more money. They have a 1 week service. But it costs a lot. It is better to just plan ahead.
